Music in the Hills

I feel like all I talk about on this blog is the weather, but since it plays such a major part in deciding what to wear, I suppose it makes sense! It was all cool and autumny for quite a while and then boom, two days of 80 degree weather. Totally uncalled for and very confusing.

Now, as much as I’d like to keep things upbeat (or just moderately whiny) I do have to take a moment to talk about heavier matters.

If you haven’t already heard, one of the pillars of the online vintage community, Jessica of Chronically Vintage and her husband lost their home and all of their belongings (and, quite possibly, their dear kitty Stella) in a terrible house fire late last week. Fortunately, they themselves (and their dog) came out unharmed and they’re able to stay with family while they rebuild, but replacing a lifetime’s worth of clothing, tools, and technology is a daunting task, especially when paired with chronic illness.

A crowdfunding page has been set up for the Cangianos on YouCaring here and if you happen to be able to pitch in anything, I am sure that it would be an enormous help as they get themselves turned rightways up again and prepare for winter.

Anyway, today’s silly pictures brought to you by chasing the fading light up a hill after work to try to get some pictures. Not the best chasing up the hill shoes but I think the photos turned out okay so it was worth it!
